The Bob Dylan Appreciation Thread
this partially stems from the Musicians who are Poets thread (or whatever it's called)... and it also partially stems from the fact that i've been listening to Dylan's Time Out of Mind almost non-stop for the past few days...
i was curious if anybody else has noticed his tragic inflection of the word "don't" in the phrase "there are things i could say, but i don't" in the song "Standing in the Doorway"... it makes me want to cry, it's so sad... the song itself is very sad, but the way he sings that phrase is the bottom of the barrel (in terms of sadness)... his songs are so beautiful...
if you have Time Out of Mind, i recommend listening to "Standing in the Doorway" and that phrase in particular (it comes at about 4:45 remaining in the song).. (it's track 3, btw..)
yikes... i'm going to cry now.
this thread is primarily to reflect on his genius, however... not the one song..

Great album though.
A quote I used to have in my sig:
"Dylan makes Shakespeare look like Billy Joel" - George Harrison

give me a break, only 8 views (3 of which are mine) and 2 replies (1 of which is mine) in 3 hours of existence for a thread dedicated to somebody as monumentally important as Bob Dylan?! ridiculous.
anybody seen him in concert recently? i'm very curious what he's like onstage. does he do a lot of talking? joking around? that sort of thing? or is it more just one song after another with no talking?

I also saw him in 91 & he was terrible. He seemed totally uninterested & it was difficult to even tell what song they were playing. Now is a perfect time to see him if you get the chance. I think he tours Europe next month.

Bob's been really performing great the past few years. I saw him twice with Paul Simon. Incredible.
Over the two shows he dueted with Paul on:
The Boxer (Bob on harp)
I Walk The Line
The Sound Of Silence (Bob on harp)
That'll Be The Day/The Wanderer
Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Bob would also tell a different (usually bad) joke as he introduced the band.
From 7/9/99:
"David Kemper is playing on the drums.
One of David's first jobs was here in Chicago.
He had a job as a waiter but he never took any tips.
He was a dumb waiter."

Blood on the tracks is one of the most underated records of the 70's.If you like Time Out of Mind,check it out.Seen him with Tom Petty in 1986 and in Branson,Mo.in 1990.
